Our phonic class uses a multi-sensory approach to teaching phonics and reading, emphasizing the sequence of phonetic and structural analysis, which enables students to become independent readers.

What is Phonics?

Phonics is a method of teaching elementary reading based on the association of letters of a combination of letters with their appropriate speech sounds.

Why should my child study phonics?

Phonics is recognized as an effective tool in developing the ability to pronounce the sound of a word that is unfamiliar. Phonics instruction plays a key role in helping children comprehend texts. In spelling, phonics helps children write the appropriate letters for the sounds they hear.
